LEICESTER'S owners will reportedly meet in Los Angeles today
to discuss the future of a number of key players including Riyad Mahrez.
The Algerian winger has been heavily linked with a move to
Arsenal over the past few days.
And Sky Sports claim his future will be discussed by
Leicester's owners and officials at a meeting today.
Mahrez shone last season for the Foxes, making 7 assists and scoring 17 goals as Claudio
Ranieri's side won the Premier League title.
But reports in France suggested he wanted to leave the club
and had reportedly agreed a deal to join Arsenal.
However Ranieri claimed after Saturday's win over Celtic the
PFA Player of the Year would not be leaving the King Power Stadium.
The Italian said: "Did you see Riyad, how he is happy?
He played well and worked so hard for the team and scored a good goal, then he
stays with us, Of course.
“For us it is very important because he is one of our stars.
He is our fantasy. We can work hard but with him something change.
“With another team there are many more stars and maybe he doesn't
play at the same level. Maybe he go on the bench. It is much better he stay
here with me and another year is important for him."
Sky Sports add the future's of Kasper Schmeichel, Danny
Simpson, Jeff Schlupp and Danny Drinkwater will also be under discussion at the
meeting in Los Angeles .
